OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene was initially characterized in human as having high expression levels in breast carcinomas and breast cancer cell lines. This gene also has increased expression in prostrate cancer cells relative to normal prostrate tissues. Expression of this gene is negatively regulated by direct binding of the microRNA miR-195 to its 3' UTR. miR-195 has been shown to modulate the invasiveness of prostrate cancer cells and xenograft metastases by downgrading expression of this gene. In mouse, the protein encoded by this gene was identified as an antigen on acute monocytic leukemia cells. In human, alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms; some of these isoforms are predicted to contain an RNA pol II promoter FMP27 protein domain and a Golgi-body-localization APT1 domain.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads BLTP2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against BLTP2 could matter depends on whether native BLTP2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

BLTP2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native BLTP2 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label BLTP2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
